of Shooes The finest wit is apt to commit the greatest folly and some Poets will love to play the foole when men of a common sufficiency deserve commendations being more plyable and willing to submit to their Superiours and if the English State dive narrowly into the constitution of some of that Nation they will find most men easier to follow then to be led by force like unto generous horses that are better governed with an easie bridle then a cutting bitt Mayes Predictions OH Monstrum horrendum more ill news from Sea arrives at the Hrgue if the differences are not now composed betwixt the English and the Hollander a squadron of Vantrumps will be in danger about this time some black designes are probably discovered against the English Common wealth and Holland hath cause to cleave to some sure friends in alliance the Planets seem not to favour the French with abillity to assist them in time of danger It is an ill wind blowes no body good but the constellations of the heavens brings it not to thee great news expected from the Dutch Ambassadors in England The Souldiers swell with fury the Citizens minds rise high and most mens spirits are elevaed and the heavens decrees are immutable and I cannot find any good aspects upon the French Now is the time for Kings to lose all or win all and if that King hath not by this time setled a peace with the Princes the King may be glad to offer another Treaty for sear of an English Designe to be suddenly put in execution and their minds are in miserable perplexity that are troubled with what is like to happen hereafter Junes Predictions THe Sun in Cancer and Saturn in a Quadrat is as bad or worse then the former yet do I guesse this aspect will not be of any great force in Holland or in England the worst I can find unto them is the death of some of those that sit at the helm unlamented many pyracies committed by Sea great bloodshed in France if the Spaniard have a fight with the French about this time he is likely to prevail some great remoraes of an eminency sounds abroad beyond hour horizon what it should be I guesse not unlesse it should be of some great Fleet at Sea it may be onely a report of new Levies for the Scots King in Denmark or Scotland or both yet of any place let not the Scots think to thrive this year Saturn and Mars c. are transcendent with them and before summer is ended their Royal Black-coats will not dare to shew their teeth and Saturn being passing through a Quadrat presageth fear terror and treachery in that Nation but the Aspect is yet better in Holland if they trouble not the water or love to fish in such they may live at quiet but if otherwise they must smart as well as the rest Julies Predictions WHy do not the Commons of France stir with more activity to promote their own liberty and freedoms help is promised if the Dutch are not bad neighbours The Starres do threaten some contention if not losse at Sea by the Dutch if they are hinderers of a noble Design they will have time to repent of it and smart for it too both in Italy Venice Florence and other of the Eastern Countreys they are vexed with War Blague or Famine some strange news is produced at this time out of the Northern Countreys I shall say little of the Conjunctions this Moneth but the Aspects are good for those that are getting therefore it cannot be good to give much where is but little honour greatnesse riches dignities and tryumphs are appointed for those that know how to afflict trouble and destroy others Two sorts of People are alwayes to be feared The rich for their own sakes their vice and condition The poore by reason of their necessities and imprudence This signe will have great influence upon such as are accustomed to ill language especially among women which use to scould a their Husbands Augusts Predictions THe noysome heat of the Dog-star will vex many this moneth especially such as live in hot Countries besides the generall influence of the Plannets foretell ill successe to Kings and chiefly to John King of Poetugal and Lewis King of Frnace It is naught swallowing of Bullets this moneth yet I fear a great slaughter of men and a generall calamity amongst other creatures God preserve the Northern Countries from the Plague or some other infectious disease most mens deeds are so hellish and black that all judgements threatned without the prevention of the Almighty may justly pull down from heaven a Deluge of sorrow yet for these parts of the world I have better hopes for with us Sol hasteth to the Triangle of Jupiter as if Providence had disposed a sudden conclusion of our troubles and there is promised high and honourable things to be done by Free States in which England seemeth to get the preeeminence in glory and greetnesse and that persons in power shall rejoyce and gain victorie over their enemies of what Nation soever yet it is not so but some men are in miserie and not redressed Septembers Predictions Astrange diaster about this time or perhaps in the forgoing Moneth is threatned There be some men that nothing can satissie who would think that such as have already and if occasion be will again joyned in one against the Common Enemy should not agree amongst themselves but either in envigh because other men are in greater places then themselves or some other self-ends are repining yea and it may be impeaching one another many piracyes are daily heard of to be committed at Sea A great battle is likely to be fought in France where some King or great person is like to fal Something may naturally be calculated from the influence of the Celestial bodyes of som further misfortune to the Scots King either by a fall or a shot from his horse The two Eclipses in one Moneth viz. one of the Sun and another of the Moon in March last affoard very much matter to work upon and invites the English to a reconcilirtion in judgement very strange intelligence comes from severall parts This is the time that wisemen will do nothing but for themselves and say that there is no reason that ways that wisdom should put themselves in danger for fools Octobers Predictions SOL enters Scorpio and an opposition with Saturn certainly this will be a time of great consultation in England and Holland yet a Quadra for many dayes with Mars signifies much blood shed in France Ireland and some other places some strivings amongst great persons consequently follows about the nullifying of some thing formerly decreed or had been long in use by this time much may be done in order to the equall administration of Justice in severall places where it hath in part been neglected then happy are the people that live under such a Government yea thrice happy are they if that a dissembling flatterer or insinuating Parasite the worst vermine in a Common wealth hath not an office himself of trust or at least some honest man in great power to speak for him It s an ill wind blows no body good but the influence of the heavens seems to be very sparing where to bestow All men will not be of one mind either in Holland Spain Italy France Germany England or Scotland although the Sun goes round all the world over Novembers Predictions THe Starres yet fight against many great ones especially Princes and Potentates if Spain loseth not what fortune seems to favour them with they may inlarge their interest both in France and Portugall yet many do willingly endure multitudes of evills besides those that are naturally incident to them some men are like to be rackt in pieces for the offences long after doubted and because a man ought not to be punished without just cause sometimes punishments are inflicted worse then death those that are setled States are like so to continue notwithstanding all the threats and plots of their enemies Some of our Burgamasters are like to receive great losses abroad and yet in danger of being questioned for their unjust dealings at home The Cat is in love with fish but hath no mind to wet her feet Be merry while you may the Chickens are washing but to my grief I shall find but few rosting in the poore mans Kitchin Decembers Predictions SOL enters Virgo is passing into an opposition with Luna the next is a Triangle and so faleth into a Quadrat also Saturn first passeth through a Quadrat Let young men forbear to 〈◊〉 a wooing till Venus comes into a Sextile which ●ill be the sixteenth day of this moneth and then its probable they will find efficacy the fruits of their desires Some honest minded men do manifest their desires to beget a right understanding indifferences and wash and labour to make the Blackamoore white It is not good to be dipt too deep this moneth for fear of a Quartane Ague w●nt of money will give such a check to Bachuns that he will not be such a
